Jim Crook - Managing Director - Blue Orchid We have had a working contract with Canter, Levin, Berg for a few years now and, for a relatively small company, have had more than our fair share of HR issues, particularly TUPE, several redundancies and one or two under-performing staff. We have always found the advice given by the company, and Katharine Kelly in particular, to be sound, up to date and given within quick response times. Having followed the advice given, we have never found ourselves in the position where an employee has taken any issue any further. This has helped us to move the business forward in the way we would wish. We would recommend CLB to any company looking for excellence from their HR services provider.
